Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 371: Divorce (3)

Thirty years, long and unbearable. In this life, he had only about twenty years of happiness. Ever since he met Su Aiping, his world had lost its original colors and had been shrouded in darkness.

"Why shouldn’t I say it?" Another wave of anger surged through her. Su Aiping suddenly straightened her back and shouted indignantly, "It was you who cheated emotionally first, and now you’re blaming me?"

"Shut your mouth, I don’t want to hear your voice." Mu Hongwen suddenly stood up and coldly commanded.

"Haha, you feel ashamed too? I thought you, Mu Hongwen, had a heart of stone and were invulnerable." Su Aiping was not intimidated by Mu Hongwen’s authority. She suddenly burst into laughter, her expression full of scorn and ridicule.

Slap—

Su Aiping was instantly petrified, staring blankly at Mu Hongwen who stood before her, disbelief written all over her face!

He actually hit her?

In over thirty years of marriage, this was the first time he had ever struck her! So, when the fiery pain spread across her face, Su Aiping was still engulfed in shock, unable to regain her composure for quite some time.

"I’ve tolerated you long enough, don’t push your luck anymore!"

"Pushing my luck? How am I pushing my luck?" Su Aiping snapped out of her daze at Mu Hongwen’s warning, furious, indignant, and resentful, hysterically retorting.

"At the beginning, it wasn’t me who forced you to marry me, but you who schemed tirelessly so I had no choice but to marry you. I warned you, I would never like you in this lifetime, didn’t I?"

"But I am your wife! Even if you don’t like me, you can’t like another woman!"

"Why not?" Mu Hongwen sneered, as if Su Aiping had told the most laughable joke.

"Because I say so! No one touches a man of Su Aiping’s!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongwen’s fists clenched tightly, his icy gaze seemed to bore several holes into Su Aiping.

At this moment, he even wanted to kill her, but his rationality suppressed his impulse. Slowly, he took a few steps back and coldly said, "We’re getting divorced next Monday!"

Divorced?

Divorced!

These were the last words Su Aiping wanted to hear. She had spent all her youth and endured over thirty years. Now, how could she agree to a divorce!

"If you want a divorce, it will be over my dead body!"

"Suit yourself." Mu Hongwen’s face remained icy, not the slightest bit moved, dropping three words indifferently before turning to walk upstairs.

"Mu Hongwen, you bastard! Even if I die, I won’t die now!" Su Aiping screamed and yelled at Mu Hongwen’s retreating figure, "I’ll drag this out with you to the end; there’s no way we’re getting divorced!"

"..."

Mu Hongwen didn’t turn back, he just continued up the stairs step by step, unhurried and calm.

Seeing this, Su Aiping was thoroughly panicked. She knew that no matter what she did this time, Mu Hongwen would not change his mind.

Suddenly, the anger in Su Aiping’s eyes dissipated, her face turned a desperate pale, and she collapsed on the sofa in a dispirited slump.

Minfeng Street.

In the towering Jin City, places like Minfeng Street that still retained the style of the Republic of China were rare. Because of its unique architectural style and historical feel, it attracted many tourists. Be it day or night, groups of visitors came, making it bustling with activity all year round.

With a crowd like that, the economic benefits were naturally not bad. The shops here would open early and only close late at night. But oddly enough, the always-busy beef brisket snack shop had its door ajar today, with a sign hanging outside that read—Closed Today.

"Director Yan... Secretary Yan, may I ask what you’d like to eat?" The owner, used to serving customers, was seeing such a big shot in person for the first time.

Secretary Yan!

Usually seen only on TV, this high-profile figure was now in his humble little shop. How could he not be excited, not be nervous?

"Two portions of radish beef brisket," Yan Yanwei said with a gentle smile.

"And this lady? Anything else you need?" The rare presence of such a distinguished guest made the owner naturally warmly and attentively serve them.

"I’ll have a bowl of your signature soup," Kaelina said after glancing at the menu on the wall, quickly making up her mind.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

After speaking, the owner quickly walked away. Yan Yanwei and Kaelina exchanged a glance, then both calmly looked away.

"Aren’t you curious why I asked you out?" In the silence, Kaelina broke it first.

"It’s definitely not for a chat."

Upon hearing this, Kaelina smiled without being surprised at Yan Yanwei’s perceptiveness.

Now holding a high position, it would be easy for him to know her past and her whereabouts. So, she saw no need to beat around the bush, directly saying, "I think I’ve found Yinglan’s child."

"Think?" Yan Yanwei pursed his lips, calmly asking, "What clues do you have?"

"Before Yinglan’s car accident, I received a letter. Based on its contents, I met a child who fits the conditions."

"Who is it?"

"The heir of the Shen family, Shen Lingxing’s wife—Mi Jing."

Mi Jing?

The name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before. Yan Yanwei frowned, searching his memory for related thoughts.

"I believe I’ve met her." Yan Yanwei said while looking down at the table, after pondering for a moment, "She resembles Yinglan a bit; I think she’s a student of one of my friends."

"I need your help," Kaelina suddenly looked at Yan Yanwei seriously, her eyes pleading silently.

"No problem, I’ll definitely see this through."

"Alright then, please discreetly investigate Mi Jing’s background without arousing suspicion." Given Kaelina’s current status, it wouldn’t be hard to investigate someone. However, her involvement would quickly alert Shen Lingxing, as the reputation of Jin City Five Young Masters was not fond of being questioned.

"I understand." After investigating this for over twenty years and now having a lead, Yan Yanwei knew he had to be cautious even without Kaelina’s reminder.

"That’s all for now. I’m leaving." Kaelina suddenly stood up and grabbed her bag.

"The beef brisket has been ordered, won’t you stay?" Yan Yanwei gazed at her, slightly surprised.

"Eat it yourself. If your wife finds out I met you, she’ll definitely get jealous again." With that, Kaelina turned and left without a trace of hesitation.
