What followed next goes without saying.
Although Su Meimei was in a tragic state, Qiao Lian felt no sympathy for her.
Looking down, she turned around and walked back to her own office.
Shi Nianyao followed her, groveling, "What do you think will happen now?"
"What will happen?" Qiao Lian said calmly, "Su Meimei will probably be fired. And we won't have to deal with her anymore."
Shi Nianyao nodded enthusiastically. "It serves her right!"
The matter was quickly resolved. Liu Zhixing owed his successful career to his wife, and of course he would do anything to appease her. Hence he fired Su Meimei and had her leave immediately, without even giving her time to pack and retrieve her belongings.
As to her threats of suing them, Liu Zhixing said arrogantly, "Go ahead and sue us! At worst I'll pay a compensation fee. We were both consenting adults. What has it got to do with my wife that you're so low-down?"
