Chapter 182: Jiang Lai, you're lying to me, right?

Shen Xun has heard the word divorce too much recently.

At first, it was his parents who wanted him and Jiang Lai to divorce; his younger sister Shen Xi even took divorce as her catchphrase.

Lin Shutong also hinted that he should divorce.

Xie Yongsi also said, why not divorce Jiang Lai?

Even Gu Zhiyan, someone who is neither his friend nor his partner, could say that he and Jiang Lai were divorcing.

Having heard it so many times, Shen Xun never took it seriously, because he could not possibly sign a divorce.

But now, the two words "divorce" spoken from Jiang Lai's mouth are like an invisible big hand tightly gripping his heart; after the soreness comes the pain.

"Jiang Lai, we cannot possibly divorce." Shen Xun used to find various reasons not to divorce when he was unsure of his feelings; now that he is certain of his feelings, it is even more impossible.

Moreover, Jiang Lai is also very important to his career.

Jiang Lai looked at him strangely: "I'm saying we have already divorced; indeed, the day I resigned from Ke Clan is also the day the divorce certificate came down."

"Divorce certificate? What divorce certificate?" Shen Xun's expression turned tense; he reached out to grab Jiang Lai's shoulder.

Ke Zhongyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed; he already had his arm around Jiang Lai's shoulder and stepped back one step, the two standing side by side.

A gaze colder than the cold wind swept coldly across Shen Xun's face.

A protective posture, a warning gaze.

Shen Xun was once again jealous to the point of madness.

Chi Ce, seeing the big fight imminent, immediately went to help his grandmother out, then hurried back to watch the show.

Jiang Lai stood beside Ke Zhongyu and said face to face with Shen Xun: "If you don't believe the divorce, you can go ask your parents; the words on the divorce agreement were signed by you; the divorce certificate was processed with your father's help; you should know your father has long been dealing with officials."

"Impossible." Shen Xun still insisted, his eyes clearly panicked: "I never signed anything; I could never divorce you; how could I have signed?"

"You did sign." Jiang Lai looked at him with a heavy gaze: "What you signed was not a property transfer agreement, but our divorce agreement, Shen Xun; why would you think I would want that house you dirtied with Lin Shutong?"

Shen Xun's pupils contracted sharply, his heart also contracting sharply.

She knew.

She actually knew...

Shen Xun's body swayed, he stammered: "I, I..."

Jiang Lai: "Don't keep saying you and Lin Shutong have nothing; that only fools yourself. Lin Shutong was that pregnancy, right? You left many things on the sheets and under the bed, and you didn't even clean them up."

As Jiang Lai's words fell, Fu Youqing beside her couldn't hold back, retched, and her gaze at Shen Xun was no longer just contempt.

Bringing a lover home and messing around on his own wife's bed—is he short of money for a hotel?

Is the CEO of Star Universe Technology that poor?

Although the CEO is also a worker, he is a high-level worker, not just taking a bare salary; he has shares and dividends.

There are too many flaws; Fu Youqing doesn't even know which to complain about, she turns her head to look at her younger brother.

Even the little sun has turned cloudy.

Ke Zhongyu recalled that Jiang Lai had once retched all day at Ke Clan; his brows furrowed, the steam and heat from the pot and charcoal could not alleviate the present chill.

The onlookers had varied expressions; the party involved, Shen Xun, went from panic to terror, while Jiang Lai knew everything.

He opened his mouth, still with red eyes, denying: "Impossible, I didn't sign, we didn't divorce, the divorce certificate hasn't reached my hands, impossible..."

It seems Shen Xun's parents really didn't tell him.

Jiang Lai also felt a bit confused; clearly, those most eager for her to divorce Shen Xun were the Shen family, even more impatient than Lin Shutong.

If it weren't for worrying that Shen Father wouldn't go through with the divorce certificate, leading to endless complications, she would not have agreed not to tell Shen Xun about the divorce before the bidding ended.

If the divorce certificate were delayed by a day, subsequent troubles would never cease; she would again be dragged into the unfortunate trifles of marriage, such as running between law firms and courts to sue for divorce, such as property division.

She had more important things to do; Shen Xun was no longer her lover and should not occupy her time, continuing to mess up her life.

Therefore, during this period, Shen Xun looked for her; in his messages asking where she was, they always began with "Let me explain," and she would just block him without thinking.

When Shen Xun appeared before her, he also showed a lowered posture hoping she would return; she thought these were based on the premise that Shen Xun already knew they had divorced, otherwise why?

Just because she wouldn't go back?

Shen Xun did not have this love for her; his love was all given to Lin Shutong.

Before her identity was made public, Shen Xun was not so eager to have her return; wanting her back, he said he just wanted to eat her cooking.

It was just that his stomach had been spoiled by her, and he was temporarily unaccustomed.

Once her identity was public, Shen Xun and Lin Shutong's affair was exposed together; Shen Xun repeatedly sought her, and it's not hard to imagine his purpose.

To have her protect his reputation, thereby keeping this job paying millions per year.

Then what else does she have to say to him?

Shen Xun is no longer important to her.

"Shen Xun, whether you admit it or not, we have divorced." Jiang Lai's gaze was unwavering, like stating a mundane matter; a simple sentence could pass over, leaving no trace.

It is precisely this gaze that most pierces Shen Xun's heart.

Just now it was only an invisible hand gripping his heart; now it is like a dull knife slowly stabbing into his chest, this pain is continuous.

Shen Xun seemed to hear the sound of his own heart being cut, again and again.

His eyes slowly turned red, not from loud crying, but from the red that seeps up after holding back to the extreme.

Obviously, Shen Xun still refuses to believe the fact of the divorce.

Unwilling to believe that Jiang Lai could bear to let him go.

Jiang Lai obviously loved him so much; a person of her cold, quiet nature would smile at him, her speech would become gentle, and her gaze toward him would shine.

Jiang Lai doesn't much like to speak, so sometimes she would stare at him for a long time, and would not go forward to disturb his overtime work.

He knew that.

He knew everything, clearly knowing where Jiang Lai's love lay; such days lasted four years, then one day Jiang Lai secretly divorced behind his back, his gaze showing no ripple, not even anger, let alone hatred.

How could this be...

"Jiang Lai, you are deceiving me, aren't you? I and Lin Shutong have no relation anymore, the person I like is you, it's you." Shen Xun's voice trembled, the last two repeated words obviously choked up.

Ke Zhongyu gave a light laugh, the mocking meaning pushed to the extreme: "President Shen's liking is just to drink his blood and eat his flesh?"

"You gave Jiang Lai nothing, you say you like her, you gave Lin Shutong everything, you say you have no relation with Lin Shutong."

"President Shen, you openly admit that the person you love is Lin Shutong, I, Ke Zhongyu, can still look up to you."

The man's gaze, scornful and scrutinizing, fell upon Shen Xun, and a phrase "no guts" also followed.

Shen Xun was like a monkey whose tail had been stepped on, flustered and exasperated, his mind in chaos, he directly called out the name.

"Ke Zhongyu, what status do you have to stand by her side again!"
