His Cute Wife Is A Little Crazy 89 Little Angel And Devil

Hu Lei spent the rest of the afternoon catching up on the happenings since she had been away on her new phone and laptop. She wanted to know everything before settling into the future. Though she could not learn about every single thing, she now had general knowledge on the flow of the current events, particularly on Supreme City.

She was surprised to learn about the prominence of Zhong Feng in the country. He was still a president of the company, but Zhong Industries was in a completely different league when compared to Etude Technologies.

The corporation had countless branches and businesses in the country and the international market. Moreover, from the information provided, they were expected to keep rising. Even the Zhong family chairman, Ah Feng's father, spoke highly of him.

Hu Lei felt a little guilty as she clicked on a different section of web results: entertainment news. She was a little interested in the reported private life of Zhong Feng. She knew that most of the news would be probably inaccurate and exaggerated.

But everyone had that little angel and devil. The angel told her that she should not click on the presented links. The little devil spurred her on, with seductive words, forcing her to go for it.

At first, she looked through squinted eyes, fearing what she would see. But after some time, she opened her eyes wide. She felt guilty for checking the online results, but she was also relieved because there was nothing much in the tabloids.

Most of the news provided perfunctory details on the business events he attended. There were no recent photos of him since he had not been seen much in the previous two years. She maintained a clear expression, but her heart felt warm for some reason.

Unfortunately, Hu Lei did not have the self-control to leave everything alone after clicking on a few links. She dug deeper with a sense of enjoyment. She fell into the deep pit of external links. She could not be blamed for this. It was the Wiki phenomenon. Once you started moving from one link to another connected one and so on, you will always find what you did not know you were looking for.

During this casual but addictive exploration, she found a strange article involving a woman known as Bei Gong Jiu. In reality, the link was not directly connected to Zhong Feng. However, after hours of learning about Supreme City and its politics, nothing could be hidden before her quick mind.

The behind the scenes background of the article began after Zhong Feng left Etude Technologies and returned to his family's business. Shortly after this, he purchased Dong Chen Publishing which was doing well in the business. Of course, Hu Lei remembered this company because she had a contract as an author for a number of years.

She was also appalled to learn that before Ah Feng took it over, it had been owned by the Murong family. She instantly regretted her decision of choosing a publisher so casually. It seemed that she had caused herself to have ties with some eyesores.

Besides this point, it was noted that the move to buy Dong Chen, which was now known as Sonata Publishing, was so sudden. Therefore, some rumours came up that Zhong Feng had acquired the company for a woman.

The article about the woman known as Bei Gong Jiu seemed to imply that the change in company ownership had to do with her. In simple terms, people seemed to think that Zhong Feng bought the company so that she could work within the Zhong family group. Based on the comments, the public seemed to believe it.

Hu Lei felt a strong sense of irritation rise from her heart. However, she understood that she had sought for trouble herself. She immediately closed all the tabs instead of looking into this Bei Gong Jiu.

Bei Gong Jiu… she felt that this name was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. She thought for a while before she had a 'eureka' moment. She stood up from behind her new beloved desk and walked around the library.

She took out a novel from one of the shelves with a pleased expression. She had indeed casually seen this name when she had first looked around the library. She was not familiar with this author, and the book t.i.tle seemed a little 'meh'. So, the name had not stuck with her.

She looked at the novel volume for a moment in deep contemplation. On one hand, she did not have a positive impression on this woman for personal reasons. Though she had not directly used Zhong Feng's name, it was clear that she was trying to create some kind of hype with him, white lotus style. On the other hand, Hu Lei was committed to her relationship with good stories. She did not want to dismiss a good author without giving the book a chance.

She slowly went back to her desk with the book and activated her special skill: Lightning Reading. Hu Lei's reading skill could not be looked down upon. It was this ability that had enabled her to learn with incredible ease. Her father had theorised that it had something to do with the experiments that were done on her brain when she was eight. She preferred to think of it as a skill drop.

She finished the volume in no time before closing the book and smiling to herself like a demon.

'Mmmh… this is quite satisfying.' She replaced the book on the shelf.

She moved to another part of the library where all the Carefree Dreams books had been placed. It seemed that Zhong Feng had bought every single copy of this person's published books. She smiled when she remembered that she had once commented on her author page that this person was her favourite writer. She picked out a volume of one of the books she had been reading before everything.

'This should clean that aftertaste.'

Just as she was getting into the book, the internal door of the office was knocked lightly. She stood up and opened it. She was surprised to see that her library was actually next to Zhong Feng's study. He had told her that the beautiful wooden door led to an untidy storage room during the initial tour.

"Miss Hu, it is already a little late. What would you like to have for dinner?" Housekeeper Li asked.

There were other people that he could have sent, considering he was the head household manager. However, he felt that he could not take the risk of offending this person.

She frowned to herself and felt terrible for wasting her time on useless things. She had not even noticed that the room had become quite dark.

"I am not really hungry, so anything is fine. I will accompany Ah Feng for dinner when he comes back." She responded with a smile.

"Master might come back past midnight." Li explained.

"It doesn't change anything." She smiled.

Housekeeper Li did not know how to convince her to change her mind. It would not do if her health was affected. But he also had to remember that Zhong Feng had said that her words were like his own: not to be questioned. He felt a headache coming. It seemed that he would not enjoy an easy life anymore.
