Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 483 Come and Show Off

Tong Shili sat by the window, holding a cup of coffee, her eyes gazing blankly out the window. Outside, many elderly people were taking a walk, supporting each other, creating a scene of tranquility and happiness.

She longed to grow old with the one she loved; how she yearned for such an ordinary life, yet…

She lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with bitterness.

It was impossible for her and Yi Fanxi to be together anymore. She had even naively fantasized about having a baby with Yi Fanxi. The house didn't need to be big, just warm and cozy, where the whole family could be together.

Looking back now, it's really ridiculous!

She took a deep breath, and felt a dull pain in her heart.

There was still a message from J on her phone, warning her to behave herself and not to have any ulterior motives, otherwise...

What would happen otherwise? J didn't say. But she knew very well that if she dared to betray J, Yi Fanxi would likely be implicated as well. She no longer cared about her own life, but she couldn't let Yi Fanxi get hurt.

She clenched her fists tightly, and it took her a long time to gradually calm down. The coffee was bitter, but it couldn't compare to the tears in her heart.

Yi Fanxi...

That's enough for now. Next up is Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo didn't know what was wrong with Tong Shili lately; it seemed that all of her decisions and suggestions were opposed by her. Although there was some truth to it, she could tell that most of the time Tong Shili was simply opposing for the sake of opposing.

She had a headache. Just like in the meeting just now, she had only talked about making good use of talent and appointing people based on merit. But when it came to Tong Shili, it became that she didn't like her and wanted to get rid of her. She even dragged Chu Xinyuan's matter into it, saying that she was driving people to their deaths. She asked if everyone present should start writing their wills in advance.

She felt a pang of pain in her heart. Although she and Tong Shili weren't exactly close, they had been colleagues for several years. To hear her say that made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Was it Tong Shili's jealousy that was at play, or was it orchestrated by someone behind her? She really couldn't figure it out.

My phone rang; it was that unfamiliar number again.

Yan Zuozuo frowned. "Hello, I'm Yan Zuozuo."

The other party didn't speak, but the noise coming from the other end of the phone was clearly audible.

"Who are you? If this is just a prank, I advise you to stop now, or I'll call the police," she warned.

However, as if testing the waters, the other party hung up again not long afterward.

She was very annoyed. The caller ID showed it was an internet phone number, but it kept calling her. Who was it?

The office door was knocked open, and Cai Keren stormed in angrily. "That Tong Shili is too much! Not only has she been going against the director lately, but she also acts all high and mighty, like everyone owes her something. She's just... just awful!"

Yan Zuozuo pondered for a moment: "This is also a normal phenomenon. There will be no progress in the company if there are no dissenting voices."

“The director is right, but recently there seem to be more and more voices opposing you.” Song Yutong said directly as she pushed open the door.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's nothing for everyone to vent privately."

"As far as I know, that's not the case. There's a group of people who didn't think highly of you to begin with, but they've gotten very close to Tong Shili, and they've openly opposed you quite a bit in recent meetings. If this situation continues, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the director to get anything done in the future."

Yan Zuozuo remained silent, but it must be said that what Song Yutong said was true.

Seeing that Yan Zuozuo seemed not to have seriously considered this issue, Song Yutong continued, "There can be dissenting voices in a company, but as a leader, you must have the ability to make decisions. If you let it develop without stopping it, it will only escalate and eventually become unsolvable. How many companies have died because of this seemingly delicate relationship?"

Yan Zuozuo frowned; indeed, she was being too soft-hearted. She thought her disagreement with Tong Shili was just temporary, but judging from recent events, if she didn't intervene, the final outcome might not be so ideal.

Just then, Tong Shili knocked and came in. Seeing Song Yutong there, she frowned. Earlier in the meeting, she and Yan Zuozuo had argued, and Song Yutong had clearly sided with Yan Zuozuo.

She scoffed, "You two aren't talking about me, are you?"

Song Yutong smiled: "Deputy Director Tong has indeed been a topic of much discussion lately."

"I had no idea that Director Song was so two-faced. I guess I'll have to learn from him."

"Deputy Director Tong, you flatter me."

Tong Shili met Song Yutong's thoughtful gaze and subconsciously avoided her eyes. She looked at Yan Zuozuo, "The director doesn't seem to like me staying here."

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "That's not true..."

"No need for formalities. I'm here to ask the director for leave. I haven't had a vacation in a long time and I'd like to take a break. I hope the director will approve it."

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Deputy Director Tong has indeed not had a vacation for a long time. Then take a break and adjust yourself. But remember to come back. The company and I both need you."

Tong Shili's eyes flickered: "Thank you for your kind words, Director. I'll head out now."

As soon as Tong Shili left, Song Yutong sighed, "I hope she wasn't just being petty."

Back in her office, Tong Shili quickly sent the leave request email to Yan Zuozuo. She leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh. She disliked this confrontational side of herself; she preferred a simple, quiet life, yet she always seemed to be caught in her own web of emotions.

Actually, she envied Yan Zuozuo. Although she also had her own troubles, she had a loving husband, a positive and optimistic attitude, and a free and easy life.

And she had nothing.

Yan Zuozuo replied to the email quickly, presumably having arranged her work and ready to take a vacation at any time.

Tong Shili gave a cold smile, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She initially came here for a mission, but over the years, she developed feelings for the place. Even knowing it was all fake, she was still a person with emotions. Now, seeing Yan Zuozuo's cold reply, she felt resentful. The tone seemed to say that Fan Hua Design didn't need her; if she was capable, she could do it well, and if not, she could leave anytime.

Feelings, in the end, are all just illusions...

She took a sip of coffee with a sorrowful expression, suddenly wondering where in this world she could find her place.

Yi Fanxi!

The name suddenly appeared in her mind, and a gentle warmth rose up, but then came endless loneliness and sorrow. He already had Julie, so what was she?

After get off work, Chi Moqing came to pick up Yan Zuozuo. Yan Zuozuo jumped into the car and immediately threw herself into his arms, acting like a spoiled child. Chi Moqing gestured for Jian Ning to drive, then ruffled his wife's hair and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Zuozuo pouted, somewhat helplessly, "Tong Shili has taken a long leave."

Chi Moqing frowned, then quickly smiled and said, "It's a normal day off, why do you look unhappy?"

Yan Zuozuo briefly explained: "I'm worried that she'll throw a tantrum, and my husband, Tong Shili, has a very special status. I don't know how to deal with it."

Chi Moqing laughed: "Don't worry, your husband is here for you. Be good, give me a smile."

Cough!

This sounds like, "Hey girl, give this old man a smile." But if it's for such a handsome husband, there's nothing wrong with it.

Just as they were getting close to home, Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was Ding Le calling, his voice particularly loud, "Reporting, sir, my sister-in-law had a fight with someone at the company today."

Chi Moqing frowned: "With whom?"

"Tong Shili, and my sister-in-law is very angry!"

Chi Moqing's brows furrowed even more, a subtle glint flashing in his eyes. Although Tong Shili was J's woman, she had been relatively well-behaved in recent years. But why was she suddenly going against his young wife like this? Was J about to make a move?

Silently ending the call, Chi Moqing regained his gentle demeanor and said with a smile, "Wife, I made a seafood feast tonight, be sure to eat plenty."

"Really?" Yan Zuozuo's mouth watered. It must be because of her pregnancy. She felt that she was becoming more and more restrained by her foodie nature. No, she was now a complete foodie.

When Tong Shili returned home, she felt like she didn't recognize the room at all. It was filled with pink everywhere, which made her so angry that she almost jumped up and down. "Who told you to mess around like this!"

Judy, who was covering the coffee table with a pink lace tablecloth, was startled. When she saw Tong Shili return, she immediately rushed over for a hug, "Sister Tong, do you like it? I chose all of these."

Faced with Judy's innocent and boastful expression, Tong Shili gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word. Finally, she turned her gaze to Yi Fanxi, "Who gave you the key, allowing you to come and go as you please!"

Yi Fanxi didn't speak, but Zhu Xi immediately said, "Oh, wasn't this for Fanfan? I know everything. You're Fanfan's family, so you'll be my family too. Sister Tong, come and see if you like the room I decorated for you."

Tong Shili looked at the room full of pink and her lips twitched. "I don't like pink."

She said those words with absolute force, barely containing her anger.

"Huh?" Judy looked disappointed, but quickly blinked and said optimistically, "Oh, I see. Then tell me what color Sister Tong likes, and I'll have someone send it over right away."

I just like the original color.

"It's all white, no color at all, it's not pretty at all. Sister Tong, don't be shy with me, just tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you," Julie said with a heart full of righteous indignation.

Tong Shili was taken aback. Meeting Yi Fanxi's indifferent face, her anger flared up instantly. What did this mean? Was he afraid she was still bothering him and had brought his girlfriend to provoke her? She, Tong Shili, liked him, but she wasn't that shameless!

"Enough!" she roared, turning angrily to Judy. "What are you trying to say? You're rich, Yi Fanxi is yours, are you here to assert your ownership or to pity me? Let me tell you, you don't need to! Get out of here now, right now!" With that, she tore everything off and threw it all on the ground. "Take it all!"

Juxi stood there stunned. Just when Tong Shili thought this pampered girl was crying and complaining to Yi Fanxi, she saw her blink, turn around and look at Yi Fanxi, saying with a sad expression, "Fanfan, you really hit the nail on the head. Sister Tong is really angry. It's okay, I will try my best. Your family is my family. Keep going!"

Yi Fanxi stared at Zhu Xi's innocent face, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. However, this was a side of Yi Fanxi that Tong Shili had never seen before, and her heart ached.
