Transmigration: On the Gossip Front
Chapter 2129 - 2130: The Original Spouse Who Left with Nothing 49
Zhang Yu heard the phone ringing, picked it up and saw the caller was Lin Yu, and finally displayed an expression of ’he finally called’.
Zhang Qiang noticed Zhang Yu’s expression was a bit strange, "Who’s calling, Lin Yu?" Besides Lin Yu, there shouldn’t be anyone else who could make his daughter show that expression.
Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, it’s him. When I got the news, I was wondering if he’d come to trouble me."
"I waited and waited, but he never came. I thought he was afraid I’d mock him, but he finally did." Zhang Yu adjusted her mood, "Although I really want to mock him."
"But when I think about it, he’s rather pitiable."
"I can’t just anger him to death right from the start." She really wanted to know the reaction of the Han family when they didn’t secure this project, or rather how Han Xue would reprimand him. If she angered someone, wouldn’t she be unable to find out?
The phone rang for a long while without anyone picking up. Lin Yu thought Zhang Yu wouldn’t answer and was about to hang up when he heard her pick up and immediately said hello.
Zhang Yu: Who is it?
She even asked who he was, which once again broke down Lin Yu: It’s Lin Yu. Don’t you check who’s calling?
Zhang Yu: I know it’s your phone calling, but I don’t know who’s calling me. Before the divorce, that woman used your phone to send me messages and call me all the time, so of course, I have to ask.
Zhang Yu: Go ahead, why are you calling me?
Lin Yu was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Yu’s attitude, but he couldn’t argue. Han Xue used to do these things often: Uh, the bidding result came out today, and I didn’t win the bid.
Zhang Yu remained silent. She guessed he probably wanted to hear some comforting words, but unfortunately, comforting wasn’t an option. The fact that she wasn’t loudly mocking him was already giving him face.
Lin Yu waited for a while but heard nothing from the other end, not a single sound, and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. What was he hoping for exactly? Hoping Zhang Yu would comfort him?
Lin Yu: Don’t you think I’m a failure, not taking down this project, and you just can’t, can’t slightly comfort me?
Ha? Zhang Yu thought Lin Yu would change the topic since in front of her, he always placed himself on a high pedestal: Do you need comfort?
Zhang Yu: I’m sorry, even if you need comfort, I don’t want to comfort you. Isn’t it just a project? As a person in finance, isn’t failing to secure a project a normal thing?
If he wanted comfort, it was impossible; mocking him a bit was what he deserved: Haven’t you failed enough times before? You won’t think that just because your wife is now the head of the Han family, you’ll definitely win this project?
Zhang Yu: Also, are you sure your wife can control the resources of the Han family?
Zhang Yu: Fine, losing out on this project means nothing. Maybe in the future, you’ll find you’re going to fail even more.
Lin Yu originally thought after being reprimanded by Han Xue, Zhang Yu would at least slightly comfort him. Instead, not only did she not comfort him, but also mocked him ruthlessly, saying that this kind of thing would happen a lot in the future.
Lin Yu was so angry his hair almost stood on end: Zhang Yu, are you hoping for my misfortune? The more miserable I am, the happier you are?
Zhang Yu acknowledged: Of course, the more miserable you are, the happier I am. But Lin Yu, why are you getting angry with me? If I were you, you should be speaking to me nicely instead.
Lin Yu’s face was red with anger, his head about to explode: You speak so harshly and still want me to talk nicely to you? Is it your brain that’s muddled or my ears that have a problem?
Zhang Yu: My mind is perfectly normal, you are the one who’s not normal.
Zhang Yu: Don’t think just because you’re my financial backer, I have to treat you nicely, flatter you, or do everything to make you happy.
Zhang Yu: Please, you’re thinking too much. You pay me for my service, but I also pay for services.
Zhang Yu: By the way, considering your arrogance in front of me, my mood is bad, so let’s just not cooperate anymore.
Harumph, he gets humiliated by Han Xue and wants to find a sense of presence with her? Please, that’s just wishful thinking, really an impossible thing.
Zhang Yu actually threatened him? Lin Yu almost choked, not understanding how his life became like this. In front of Han Xue, he always humbled himself, and he was aware of this, already prepared for it.
But he never thought that Zhang Yu, who was easily crushed before, could now counter him, deeply displeasing him.
Lin Yu quickly found a point to leverage against Zhang Yu: Zhang Yu, stop talking big. Your expenses in Harbor City aren’t low, right? Rent isn’t cheap, right? Xiao Xuan’s schooling isn’t cheap, right?
Lin Yu: Plus, there are all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, which aren’t small numbers. Yes, you took a sum when you divorced, but you can’t just sit around and deplete it.
Speechless, Zhang Yu rolled her eyes unceremoniously: Calling you an idiot, you really are an idiot. You don’t think I’m only doing project plans for you, do you?
Zhang Yu: I’m also in the finance circle. I can make plans for you, but I can’t make them for others?
Zhang Yu: Also, the house I got from the divorce, I’ve sold it. You don’t think I just keep the money in the bank for interest, do you?
Zhang Yu snorted coldly: Truly, calling you immature and brainless is really giving you credit.
Zhang Yu: Whether it’s the stock market or futures, I’m trying them all.
Zhang Yu: Honestly, my current income is more than you imagine.
Zhang Yu: You won’t think that when I say I can drop your project anytime, I’m just bluffing. I mean it seriously.
Zhang Yu: I’m busy with work now, and with my son’s National Day holiday coming up, I’m planning to take him diving.
Zhang Yu: Then during the winter vacation, I plan to take the child skiing.
Skiing in the winter holiday? Lin Yu didn’t understand, it’s only September, why bring it up now: That’s so far away.
Zhang Yu: I need to practice first, otherwise, how can I go skiing?
Actually, she can ski, it’s just the original didn’t, so every time she took Lin Zixuan skiing, she just watched from the side.
Now she definitely wants to go down together, otherwise just standing foolishly on the side was a loss. She’s currently considering where to go skiing, Europe or Japan.
Practice skiing? Lin Yu laughed: In Harbor City, as I recall, there’s no indoor ski resort.
Zhang Yu of course knew: So I thought it over, I could go to Dubai where there is an indoor ski resort.
Lin Yu originally wanted to mock Zhang Yu for not thinking things through, but hearing her say she plans to ski in Dubai got his laughter stuck: You’re going to ski in Dubai? Isn’t it very expensive?
He hasn’t been there, but the ticket isn’t that costly; it’s the round-trip airfare and accommodation there that add up, with significant additional costs.
Zhang Yu: Yeah, but nothing is more valuable than my happiness. I now understand that to make myself happy, I should spend what needs to be spent. Don’t always think about saving money, because the money you save, men won’t cherish you for it.
