Chapter 1730

Zhu Yanyi did not waste any time. While Yan Aohan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, she entered the Ruyi Space to look for books.

Actually, she did not need to search long. The Azure Sovereign Qingdi had organized her books very well. She quickly found the section on pills. There were titles like Levels of Pills and How to Refine Pills. Zhu Yanyi started working hard again. This time, she clearly knew her goal.

Yan Aohan could only watch her efforts with care. Because of this, her plan to make fish bait for Chong Lou slowed down.

Who could have guessed that trouble had already found Chong Lou on his own?

This started with Silver Fox teaching Zhang Qiaolian.

Zhang Qiaolian had managed to graduate from high school. In those times, that was not easy. It showed she was smart. When she was young, she had dreams. Especially after marrying Zhu Xiangyao, she wanted to be a general’s wife. But Zhu Xiangyao retired from the army.

Retirement was fine. She knew a wife should support her husband. Even though the Zhu family was poor, she wanted to live with her. To give her a son, she secretly went to have a baby. She hoped for a boy. But fate was cruel. Her second child was also a girl.

Even though it was a girl, she was her own flesh and blood. When she caused a scene at Zhu Shunyao’s house, she only wanted her daughter back. She never thought she would lose her daughter, cause Zhu Xiangyao to lose her job, and get her expelled from the party. Because of the trouble, Zhu Xiangyao forced her to divorce her.

Divorce was fine. She thought she was wrong, so she agreed. But later, she found out the truth. After Zhu Xiangyao went to a southern city, she got lost in the fancy life there. Worse, she had an affair with a local woman. This made her hate her deeply. she never loved her. Even if she had a son, she knew she could not compete with those fashionable southern women.

When Zhu Xiangyao was beaten and sent to a mental hospital, she felt relieved. She thought heaven had punished her.

But who knew he was saved? He came to the capital, lived in a tall building, and had beautiful women around him.

This made her furious. she had ruined her life. She had to get revenge.

She came to the capital but could not find Zhu Xiangyao. However, Silver Fox’s people found her.

Silver Fox’s agent was straightforward. she had studied Zhang Qiaolian’s personality. she proposed a deal: they would train her, and she would help destroy Chong Lou.

Zhang Qiaolian came for revenge, so she agreed.

Silver Fox did not appear personally. He arranged teachers for her.

The training started with beauty and posture, then moved to etiquette and temperament. There were many lessons, but Zhang Qiaolian endured them all.

After two months of hard work, Zhang Qiaolian improved greatly. Silver Fox had planned to wait longer, but after learning Zhu Yanyi’s plans, he decided to act sooner. Seeing that Zhang Qiaolian was good enough, the plan began.

Zhang Qiaolian had changed completely. Her movements were not perfect, but she was no longer a simple country woman. With good care, she showed the charming allure of a young married woman. Silver Fox believed this Zhang Qiaolian would be fatally attractive to Chong Lou.

Silver Fox truly understood human nature.

She taught Zhang Qiaolian to be dignified but slightly charming. She knew this would trap not just Chong Lou, but any man without strong will.

Her appearance was also part of the plan. She appeared at a masquerade ball.

Chong Lou was invited and wore a mask. In the dance floor, she saw a woman wearing an elf mask. Her charm made her unable to look away. she followed her as she walked out.

Outside, Zhang Qiaolian took off her mask. Chong Lou was shocked. It was Zhang Qiaolian. she never thought she could be so charming.

Zhang Qiaolian saw Chong Lou but did not approach her. She coldly turned and left.

If she had spoken to her, Chong Lou might have suspected her. But by ignoring her, she showed she did not care. This made Chong Lou feel a strange desire.

People can be foolish. When Zhang Qiaolian loved her before, she did not care. Now that she ignored her, she missed her. This is what people call: a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as one you cannot get.

Thinking of Zhang Qiaolian, Chong Lou had no mood to comfort Liu Peipei when she returned home. Seeing Liu Peipei in her wheelchair, she thought of the elf-like Zhang Qiaolian dancing.

In the following days, she watched Zhang Qiaolian closely. She never spoke to her first. She showed no interest in talking. This made her want to conquer her. she wanted her to submit to her.

She learned she worked as a cashier and knew where she lived. She picked her up in the morning and evening. She even ruined her blind dates. When she got angry and scolded her, she clung to her. She even kidnapped her to a villa and forbade her from leaving. Once, using alcohol as an excuse, she forced herself on her.

All of this was designed by Silver Fox. Chong Lou was unlucky to meet a high-IQ Silver Fox. Silver Fox controlled human nature perfectly. He knew Chong Lou liked what he could not have. So, he made Zhang Qiaolian give small rewards but mostly ignore him. Chong Lou became more and more obsessed. Finally, he did not go home for several days, which worried Liu Peipei greatly.
