Chapter 315 - 163: Secret Barbecue Sauce and the Idea of Opening a Barbecue Restaurant!

"Have I ever said anything when you buy clothes? Can’t I just ask?"

Liu Yuan was also infuriated by Xu Xinglei’s attitude, her chest heaving intensely.

"You’re being unreasonable! Liu Yuan, are you having an early menopause?"

"Who are you calling unreasonable? Who’s having an early menopause?"

"..."

After not seeing each other for over ten days, the couple broke into a fierce argument within half an hour of meeting.

Xu Xinglei kicked over several chairs in the office, and the new tea set on the coffee table became a pile of shattered pieces on the floor.

"I’ve really had enough of you all these years!"

After the argument, Xu Xinglei snorted angrily, yanked the office door open with a bang, and left without looking back.

As he stepped out, he happened to run into Jiang Tao, who was strolling by.

"Xu..."

Jiang Tao was about to greet Xu Xinglei, but the latter stormed past him without a glance, leaving in a huff.

"..."

Jiang Tao drew back his hand into his pants pocket.

Being ignored like that really was a bit unpleasant!

"Sob, sob..."

Jiang Tao’s attention was quickly drawn to the sound of soft sobbing coming from the office.

Judging by the sound, it seemed Liu Yuan was crying.

"Looks like Xu must have just had a fight with Liu Yuan?"

Jiang Tao’s gaze shifted toward Liu Yuan’s office, feeling a bit of sympathy for his fellow townsman.

Her husband is keeping a mistress outside and secretly transferring their joint assets, and she’s probably still in the dark about it.

Come to think of it, Xu Xinglei is really doing things in a pretty underhanded way.

Their ten-plus years of marriage with Liu Yuan, if they could part ways amicably, at least he would be a man.

But what’s the point of doing things like this?

Listening to the sobbing from the office, and recalling just being ignored by Xu Xinglei, Jiang Tao’s sense of justice surged.

"Xu, if you’re going to be heartless, then don’t blame me for being unkind. I’ll definitely side with my fellow townsman."

He muttered softly, then stepped to Liu Yuan’s office door and knocked.

Knock, knock, knock—

The crying stopped immediately after the knock, but there was no immediate response.

About a minute later, Liu Yuan’s voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Upon hearing Liu Yuan speak, Jiang Tao gently pushed open the office door.

As the door opened, he saw the chaos inside the office.

Several chairs lay tilted to one side, and there were many broken ceramic pieces and water stains on the floor, along with scattered tea leaves.

"Jiang Tao? You... why are you here? Is there something you need?"

Seeing Jiang Tao enter, Liu Yuan’s expression was slightly awkward, feeling as if she’d been a spectacle.

"Liu Yuan, can we talk here?"

Jiang Tao glanced around the office but didn’t spot any cameras or surveillance devices.

"What’s the matter?"

Seeing Jiang Tao’s serious and cautious demeanor, Liu Yuan’s expression also turned solemn, and she rose from her seat.

"Someone gave me some information yesterday; I think you’ll be interested."

"Also, I suggest you check the company’s recent financial flows."

"This is as far as I can help you."

As he spoke, Jiang Tao found Liu Yuan’s contact on WeChat.

He directly sent her a movie he’d saved last night from a movie website.

If I can’t think of a subtle way, I’ll just be straightforward.

Dingdong!

Liu Yuan looked down at her phone on the desk.

After unlocking it, she found a video message from Jiang Tao.

However...

The content of the video was rather... explicit!

Staring at the provocative cover, Liu Yuan blushed, her heartbeat speeding up slightly.

"What’s... this?"

Liu Yuan looked at Jiang Tao, asking in a surprised tone.

"Watch it slowly after I leave; I believe it’ll be helpful for you."

"Also... impulsiveness is the devil, don’t act rashly."

"Before taking action, think about what’s more beneficial to you."

"That’s all I can say; the rest is up to you to weigh."

Jiang Tao said his piece, turned, and walked out, leaving as quickly as he’d come.

Watching Jiang Tao leave, Liu Yuan finally tapped the video Jiang Tao had just sent her.

After carefully watching the 30-plus-minute video, Liu Yuan’s face turned livid.

She felt like confronting Xu Xinglei immediately, phone in hand.

However...

She suddenly recalled the few words Jiang Tao had advised before leaving.

In the end, Liu Yuan restrained her overwhelming anger, preparing to gather more evidence to her advantage first.
