Chapter 234: To Take Photos of Jian Yining

Jian Yining only then realized the severity of the problem; no wonder Shi Youxuan wouldn't say anything—it turned out to be a matter of great importance.

Zhu Yiwen said: "So I am very sorry, I cannot divorce my wife. I need a wife, and Shi Youxuan is the most suitable candidate."

Jian Yining recovered from his initial shock and sympathy, but then he thought about it—that wasn't right!

He argued: "Not divorcing is accommodating you, but a sham marriage is too unfair to Yingzi. She is still young, only in her twenties this year. Do you expect her to be your front and live as a grass widow for the rest of her life?"

Zhu Yiwen spread his hands: "When we signed the contract back then, this clause was already written in it. We are husband and wife on the surface, but it is acceptable for each of us to have lovers."

He looked at Jian Yining and spoke as if it were only natural: "For all these years, Shi Youxuan has been alone, and I also feel she is lonely. Why don't you be her lover? You can move into her room tonight."

"No."

Jian Yining refused flatly: "I want to be her husband, let her be my beloved, not a lover."

He felt this was too absurd, and at the same time, he felt it was not worth it for Shi Youxuan.

"You don't agree?"

Zhu Yiwen's face darkened.

"Yes, I don't agree." Jian Yining was very firm: "I want Xuanxuan to be my wife, the kind that is open and aboveboard, not a lover who has to sneak around and can never see the light of day for her whole life."

"What if she agrees?" Zhu Yiwen still wanted to make a final attempt at persuasion.

Jian Yining said: "She won't agree..."

He soon realized he had gone off track and hurriedly pulled it back: "Even if she agrees, I don't. You should divorce her. We will think of a way for your affairs together; there will definitely be a perfect solution, and in the end, everyone will be happy."

"Someone come."

Soon, two burly men entered from outside: "Head of the Family."

"Drag Mr. Jian away. You don't need me to teach you what to do."

"Yes."

The two men approached Jian Yining step by step...

"Zhu Yiwen, what do you want to do? Are you going to kill me to silence me?" He retreated step by step until there was no way back.

Zhu Yiwen sneered: "With your IQ, how did you become a regional hegemon in the United States? I won't kill you; I just want you to take a few photos."

The burly men hoisted Jian Yining up to leave, but Zhu Yiwen changed his mind: "Don't drag him out. If the commotion gets too big and my wife finds out, I'm afraid she'll hold a grudge against me. Just take them here."

So the subordinates began to unbutton Jian Yining's clothes.

He shouted in anger, but Zhu Yiwen didn't care: "Go ahead and shout. The soundproofing here is very good. Even if you scream until your throat breaks, the people outside won't hear you."

Just as the burly men were about to act, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang," and Shi Youxuan stormed in angrily.

"Get out—"

The two men didn't move; they only looked at Zhu Yiwen, as they only listened to the Head of the Family.

Zhu Yiwen gave a look, and the two men released Jian Yining, bowed, and retreated outside.

Jian Yining looked quite miserable; the clothes on his body were torn, and his face had also taken a punch during the struggle, leaving it bruised.

Shi Youxuan shielded him behind her and said angrily to Zhu Yiwen: "Sir, what do you want to do to A Ning? He is my guest; you cannot hurt him."

Zhu Yiwen: "What if I want to?"

Shi Youxuan: "I respect you by calling you 'Sir,' but don't go too far. If you dare to hurt him, I will be your enemy!"

Jian Yining was very moved.

But he was a man, and a man cannot let a woman stand in front when there is danger; that would be too useless.

He tugged at Shi Youxuan: "Yingzi, I'm fine. You don't need to worry. You should go out; this is a matter between us men, and it should be solved by men themselves."

"No, I'm not leaving."

Shi Youxuan insisted on not leaving. She knew that although Zhu Yiwen looked gentle and refined on the surface, he was actually black-hearted and ruthless.

If he weren't ruthless, he wouldn't have survived back then.

Jian Yining also knew Zhu Yiwen's style of doing things. Now he began to regret not doing enough homework; he had rushed in rashly and ended up in a very passive position.

"Yingzi, go out, be obedient." He only wanted to bear all the consequences himself now; he couldn't let Yingzi get involved.

Before he arrived, she had lived here safely for five years; he couldn't put her in danger just as soon as he arrived.

Shi Youxuan: "If we go, we go together; if not, we both stay."

The two supported each other, both looking equally nervous.

Zhu Yiwen shrugged, still smiling gently: "Don't be like that, you two. It's as if I'm a tiger that can eat you. Wife, you don't need to be nervous either. You haven't even clarified what I wanted to do just now, and you have this expression; it makes me very sad."

"Don't you want to know why we had a dispute just now? And what I wanted to do to him?"

"Well, you tell me."

Shi Youxuan helped Jian Yining to the sofa to sit down, further away from him and closer to the door.

Although she knew that bodyguards were guarding the door and there were several checkpoints outside, and Shi Ran was still here, it was impossible to run out.

But being further away from Zhu Yiwen could provide some psychological comfort and peace of mind.

Zhu Yiwen smiled and recounted the conversation between him and Jian Yining from earlier. After he finished, Shi Youxuan didn't make a sound!

He added: "You don't need to be nervous. I won't kill him to silence him. If I were the kind of person who treats human life like grass, I wouldn't have signed a contract with you back then. Wouldn't it have been better to just kill you to seal your lips?"

When the incident happened back then, Shi Youxuan had discovered Zhu Yiwen's secret.

He didn't hurt her after escaping danger, but instead signed a contract with her.

Shi Youxuan had nothing to say, and she felt embarrassed for being too nervous and wronging Zhu Yiwen just now: "I'm sorry, Sir. I misunderstood you just now."

Zhu Yiwen, however, brought up the old topic again: "Wife, what do you think of my proposal? If you have no objections, he will agree too, but your first child must take the surname Zhu."

"No."

"No."

The two said in unison, both opposing it.

Zhu Yiwen's face turned cold: "Since you both don't agree, I won't force you. However, don't even think about a divorce. Don't mention this again in the future. In my Zhu Family, there is only widowhood, no divorce!"

"Get out."

The two of them came out of the Study; Shi Youxuan was fine, but Jian Yining was listless.

Shi Youxuan tried to persuade him: "I told you this matter wouldn't be that easy, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now? Go back and rest, don't overthink it, and just go back to the United States after playing here for a few days."

"No, if we leave, it has to be the three of us as a family: you, me, and Shi Ran," Jian Yining said, very firmly.

Shi Youxuan was moved, but the hallway was not the place to talk; there were too many eyes and ears.

Furthermore, it was getting late, so she told Jian Yining to go back to the guest room to rest; this matter required long-term planning and could not be rushed.

She was truly not in a rush, but Jian Yining was!

In fact, in Shi Youxuan's heart, spending a lifetime with Zhu Yiwen or spending a lifetime with Jian Yining was about the same; either way, it was just a lifetime, and there wasn't much difference.

The reason she agreed to Jian Yining was that she was touched by his deep devotion.

Sheng Hanyu's room.

"Auntie, you are too slow, aren't you? I've already finished two, and you haven't even finished one." Shi Ran pouted, unhappy.

The two of them had been building blocks in the room for the whole afternoon.

Sheng Hanyu had been restless all afternoon; although his hands hadn't stopped moving, his heart had long since flown outside!
