My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 209

"Let’s go!"

Cao Zhendong gave Hao Ziyun a cold look and said, "Slut, look at the mess you’ve made!" He surged forward and slapped her across the face. All that pent-up rage had been bottling up for a long time, and today, it finally exploded.

"You? You hit me? Cao Zhendong, you actually dare to hit me? I fed you and housed you, and you hit me? I’ll fight you to the death!"

Hao Ziyun lunged at him like a madwoman.

But Cao Zhendong slapped her again. "Slut! I’m disgusted by what you’ve done; I could kill you! You fed and housed me? I eat takeout every day and live in my own house. What have you ever done for me? Besides going out to eat, drink, and party, what else have you done? You’ve squandered all my savings, haven’t you?"

"Your pathetic savings aren’t worth a damn. Do you know how much this outfit costs? Two hundred thousand! Do you know how much this bag costs? Eighty-eight thousand! You poor slob! With just a few million in savings, how long did you think that would last me?" Hao Ziyun sneered.

Suddenly, she saw Yang Qi, and understanding seemed to dawn on her. "So that’s it. No wonder you’ve grown a spine—you have backup now! Too bad for you, this useless former boss of yours is bankrupt. He’s worthless! You’re counting on him for support? You idiot! Hmm? No, wait, what happened to your legs? Why aren’t you limping anymore?"

"None of your business!" Cao Zhendong stood up straight and declared, "You cheated on me. I’m telling you, everything you ate and spent that was mine, you’re going to pay it all back! Otherwise, this isn’t over!"

"Haha, what are you going to do about it? Feeling brave now, are you? You’re worthless! Back then, the Kang City Business Alliance tried so hard to recruit you. They offered you an annual salary of a million, and you rejected it? Look at Fan Xiuran and Zou Shengrong. They’re both earning five million a year now. They drive luxury cars, live in mansions, drink fine wine, and eat steak! And you? Following an idiot like you, I must have been cursed for eight lifetimes. So what if I cheated on you? It’s because you’re incompetent! You deserve it!"

This woman felt no remorse whatsoever, just like Li Qiutong back then. They both believed their actions were justified. To them, their infidelity was the man’s fault for being useless.

"Well, what a lively scene we have here!"

Just then, someone arrived. A middle-aged man in a suit walked over, decked out in Armani and sporting a luxury watch—unmistakably a wealthy man.

"Fan, you’re finally here!" Hao Ziyun cried out. "This loser Cao Zhendong has grown a temper. He actually dared to hit me. It must have been Yang Qi’s idea!" Seeing Fan Xiuran, she became openly affectionate, not bothering to hide it from Cao Zhendong in the slightest.

Fan Xiuran was the former assistant manager of the research and development department at Yang Qi’s company and one of Cao Zhendong’s most capable assistants. He was the one who had stolen company technology to sell out and curry favor, becoming a welcome guest of the Kang City Business Alliance.

"Well, well, if it isn’t Mr. Yang. Oh, my mistake, I can’t call you that anymore, can I? Why is your head glowing green?" Fan Xiuran said with incredible arrogance, showing no regard for Yang Qi at all.

He then glanced at Cao Zhendong and said, "Look at the two of you, with your heads glowing green. A perfect pair!"

"Hahaha!" Hao Ziyun burst into laughter, doubling over and seemingly forgetting the slap she had just received.

"Nothing good ever comes from a dog’s mouth," Yang Qi said, looking at Fan Xiuran indifferently.

Fan Xiuran sneered and pointed a finger at Yang Qi’s nose. "Don’t like what I’m saying? Too bad, because I’ll say it anyway. What can you do about it? I used to respect you, but that was then. What are you now? Nothing! How dare you speak to me like that? Talking back? Are you tired of living?"

Before Yang Qi could respond, Cao Zhendong kicked Fan Xiuran squarely in the groin, roaring, "Fan Xiuran, watch your filthy mouth! You can insult me, but you will not insult Mr. Yang! I’ll kill you!"

Cao Zhendong had always considered Yang Qi his benefactor, the one who recognized his talent. Now, he felt that way more than ever. Yang Qi’s miraculous Rejuvenation had healed his legs, and he was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Fan Xiuran shrieked, clutching himself, unable to speak.

Hao Ziyun, however, was furious. "Cao Zhendong, hitting me is one thing, but how dare you strike my financier! Are you looking for death? You think I won’t throw you out right now and leave you homeless? So what if you bought this house? The deed is in my name!"

She rushed to Fan Xiuran’s side to check on him. "Are you okay, Fan?"

Watching this scene, Cao Zhendong’s expression darkened. His own wife was caring for another man right in front of him.

"Hao Ziyun, have you decided to stop pretending entirely?" Cao Zhendong roared.

"What the hell are you yelling for? Let me tell you, I like Fan. And not just him. I’m just as close with Zou. What are you going to do about it?" As she spoke, Hao Ziyun deliberately hooked her arm through Fan Xiuran’s, looking at Cao Zhendong with pure provocation.

Murder flashed in Cao Zhendong’s eyes as his body trembled uncontrollably. He had thought he could remain calm, but he couldn’t. The woman to whom he had given his all was now flirting with another man right in front of him, without a shred of concern.

Fan Xiuran smirked. "Cao Zhendong, you really don’t know how to appreciate your blessings. Your woman is exceptional in bed, you know. I came to pick her up today to take her to my place. We’ve got all sorts of games planned. It’s going to be as thrilling as it gets. Want to come and watch?"

"Shameless!" Cao Zhendong bellowed. "Hao Ziyun, if you like this man so much, why don’t you divorce me! Why are you still holding on to me!"

"You really don’t get it?" Fan Xiuran sneered. "If she didn’t still need to get the rest of your technology, do you think she would stay with a loser like you? You think far too highly of yourself."

Hao Ziyun also sneered. "Fan is right. We set that trap yesterday, hoping to get the last of your technical knowledge. I didn’t expect someone to ruin it! But it doesn’t matter. You already let most of it slip, and thanks to that, I got a huge reward from the Kang City Business Alliance. The life of luxury and debauchery I’m living now... I have you to thank for it!"

Cao Zhendong was stunned. He had always been adamant about not betraying Yang Qi, but now he realized he had done so unwittingly.

"You really are tight-lipped!" Hao Ziyun said proudly. "But what a pity. Even you have moments of weakness. One night, when you were drunk, you revealed so many secrets. And I wrote down every single word. Now, get lost! This is my house. You’re a penniless nobody now! You gave me everything you had. That was your own stupidity. Did you think I’d be moved? Hah, that’s hilarious. You’re so naive."

"Hah..." Cao Zhendong let out a long breath. When Yang Qi had advised him to divorce her and let this woman go, a part of him had still been reluctant. But now, in this moment, that reluctance was completely gone.
