Chapter 104 Concern
After that sensational courtroom drama, Wang Qiang's reputation was utterly ruined. He spent his days hiding at home, watching the overwhelming accusations against him online, filled with remorse. He had thought he could easily vent his anger by discrediting his ex-wife Li Yuan's company, but instead, he had plunged himself into an abyss of public criticism. As for Li Yuan, after this ordeal, she focused even more on the company's development. Her resilience and wisdom earned her the increasing respect of her employees, and business flourished, with orders pouring in.
Finally, unable to withstand the pangs of conscience and the pressure of the law, Wang Qiang decided to publicly apologize to Li Yuan's company on the popular platform he had once used to spread rumors.
That day, Wang Qiang got up early. After washing up, he sat at his desk, looked at his haggard reflection in the mirror, and sighed deeply. He turned on his computer, logged into his platform account, and began typing with trembling hands.
"Hello everyone. I am Wang Qiang. I previously made some false statements on this platform about my ex-wife Li Yuan's company, and I now deeply realize my mistake. I was blinded by jealousy, which led me to do such a foolish thing. The success of Li Yuan's company today is entirely due to her and her team's hard work and talent, and has nothing to do with me. I sincerely apologize to Li Yuan and her company here, and hope that everyone can forgive my foolish behavior this time. I will compensate Li Yuan's company in accordance with the court's judgment to make up for the losses I caused them."
After clicking "post," Wang Qiang leaned back in his chair, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that once this apology statement was released, it would be like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing another huge uproar. But he also understood that this was the only way for him to salvage some dignity.
Soon, the apology statement spread like wildfire. Netizens left comments, some sarcastic, some accepting the apology, and some continuing to condemn him, but Wang Qiang silently endured them all.
Li Yuan was discussing a new project plan with her team in the company's conference room when her phone suddenly started vibrating incessantly. She picked it up and saw screenshots of Wang Qiang's apology statement sent by her assistant, along with various comments from netizens. Li Yuan paused slightly, then a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. "This guy, he finally realized his mistake," she murmured to herself.
The team members all gathered around, looking at the phone screen. "Mr. Li, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."
"Yes, Wang Qiang should have done this a long time ago," everyone chimed in.
Li Yuan waved her hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around. Let's continue the meeting. Let bygones be bygones. We need to focus our energy on the next project and make the company even better."
After the meeting, Li Yuan dragged her tired body home. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food. She went into the kitchen and saw her current husband, Liu Xuan, wearing an apron and busy cooking.
Hearing the door open, Liu Xuan turned around and said with a big smile, "Honey, you're back! Are you tired from work today? I specially made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and a few side dishes. We can eat in a little while."
Li Yuan walked over, hugged Liu Xuan from behind, and whispered, "I'm not tired, seeing you makes me feel less tired. Why did you leave work so early today?"
While stir-frying the vegetables in the pan, Liu Xuan said, "I heard you've been working really hard at the company lately, so I wanted to get off work early and cook you a nice meal to treat you."
Li Yuan felt a warmth in her heart. She let go of his hand and walked to the dining table to sit down. Looking at the bowls, chopsticks, and exquisite dishes already set on the table, she was filled with gratitude.
A moment later, Liu Xuan carried the last dish out of the kitchen, placed it on the table, took off his apron, and sat down opposite Li Yuan. "Here, try it and see if my cooking has improved." As he spoke, he placed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in Li Yuan's bowl.
Li Yuan took a bite and her eyes lit up. "Mmm, delicious! Your cooking skills are getting better and better. I feel like you're going to fatten me up."
Liu Xuan laughed and said, "It's good to be a little chubby, you're cute when you're chubby. You've been working so hard lately, you should eat more. By the way, I heard Wang Qiang apologized on the platform?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, he's finally come to his senses. But this incident has also made me realize even more that in this world, you are the only one who truly supports me."
Liu Xuan held Li Yuan's hand and said earnestly, "Of course, I am your husband and your support. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. From now on, leave those troublesome things to me, and you can just focus on doing what you love."
Li Yuan teased, "Oh, when did you become so eloquent? Have you been secretly reading some love manual behind my back?"
Liu Xuan chuckled and scratched his head. "No way, these are just my honest thoughts. I just feel like you work too hard all the time, and I want to share some of the burden with you."
The two chatted and ate, their laughter echoing in the room. After finishing their meal, Liu Xuan took the initiative to clear the dishes, not letting Li Yuan help.
Li Yuan sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and casually changed channels.
After Liu Xuan finished washing the dishes, he came over and sat down next to her, gently massaging her shoulders.
"Honey, do you have any new plans for your company lately?" Liu Xuan asked.
Li Yuan leaned against Liu Xuan and said, "Yes, we are preparing a new brand promotion campaign to explore new markets. However, this also means we'll be busy for a while."
Liu Xuan said, "It's okay, I'll always support you. If you're tired, just tell me, and we can go out and relax together, take a vacation or something."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, after this project is finished, we'll go on a trip. We'll go to a seaside city and enjoy the sun and sand."
Just then, Li Yuan's phone rang. She answered it, her expression turning serious. It turned out that an important client of the company had made some new requests and needed her to return to the company immediately to handle them.
Li Yuan hung up the phone helplessly and looked at Liu Xuan, saying, "Honey, there's an urgent matter at the company, I have to go back."
Liu Xuan stood up and said, "Then I'll see you off."
Li Yuan shook her head. "No need, you stay home and rest. I'll drive there myself and be back soon."
Liu Xuan instructed, "Then be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens."
Li Yuan kissed Liu Xuan on the cheek and said, "Okay, wait for me at home."
After saying that, Li Yuan picked up her bag and hurried out. Liu Xuan stood at the door, watching her figure disappear into the night, silently praying that she could successfully resolve the company's problems.
After arriving at the company, Li Yuan and her team worked overtime to finally meet the client's requirements. By the time she finished her work, it was already late at night.
She returned home, gently opened the door, and found the living room light still on. Liu Xuan was asleep on the sofa, covered with a blanket. The television was still playing a program, the volume turned up very low.
Li Yuan walked over and gently sat down next to Liu Xuan. Looking at his sleeping face, she felt a mix of guilt and gratitude. She gently stroked Liu Xuan's hair and whispered, "Darling, thank you for always being by my side."
Liu Xuan seemed to sense Li Yuan's arrival. He slightly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Li Yuan, immediately sat up. "You're back! Did you finish everything?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, everything's taken care of. Why don't you go back to your room to sleep? You'll catch a cold sleeping here."
Liu Xuan smiled and said, "I was going to wait for you to come back, but I fell asleep. You must be tired, go back to your room and rest."
Li Yuan took Liu Xuan's hand and said, "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep with me?"
The two returned to their room hand in hand, lay down on the bed, and Liu Xuan held Li Yuan tightly. Soon, they both fell asleep.
In this world full of challenges and opportunities, Li Yuan experienced ups and downs in her career and relationships, but ultimately, with the love and support of her current husband, Liu Xuan, she found her own happiness and peace. Wang Qiang's apology and compensation also allowed her to completely let go of past grievances, enabling her to face her future life and career with greater composure.
