Chapter 558: Running Away from Home and a Fake Divorce

~8 min read 1,460 words

Her mother was collapsed on the sofa, fast asleep.

Jian Yixin called her father and told him to go to the airport immediately to meet up with her mother.

Then she had her bodyguards take her mother to the airport, with instructions to see the plane take off with their own eyes before returning.

After sending her parents away, Jian Yixin felt completely at ease.

She left a "Divorce Agreement" on the coffee table and left home alone, dragging her suitcase.

Sitting in the car, Jian Yixin called Shi Youxuan: "Xuanxuan, I'm homeless. Could you lend me your Apartment to stay in?"

Shi Youxuan: "No, you're staying at my place, and I'll tidy up a room for you myself."

Jian Yixin refused: "I'm not going there. If you won't lend me the Apartment, that's fine too. Anyway, this lady has money; I can just go stay in a hotel!"

Shi Youxuan:...

"See you at the Apartment, I'll bring you the key."

"Okay."

The two met at the Apartment.

The Apartment hadn't been lived in for a long time, but Shi Youxuan would hire a part-time cleaner to sweep and ventilate it regularly, so it basically didn't need much tidying and was ready for someone to move in at any time.

Jian Yixin was very satisfied with the place.

Shi Youxuan said to her: "Don't worry about the stuff online; Hanyu has already found a PR team to start resolving this. Before the afternoon is out, the impact of this matter on the internet will disappear."

Jian Yixin smiled faintly at her: "Thank you both, but it's not needed anymore. I've already decided to divorce Ze Rong. Once we are divorced, his troubles will naturally disappear."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Why do you want a divorce? The stuff online is clearly someone framing him. You don't actually think Ze Rong cheated on you behind your back, do you?"

Jian Yixin: "I know that person did it. He wants to watch us make fools of ourselves, watch us fight, and ideally stir up a huge scandal. I won't fall for his trap. My husband only has me in his heart for his whole life; he only loves me!"

When she said these things, she was as proud as a little princess.

Seeing that she trusted Sheng Zerong yet still wanted a divorce, Shi Youxuan was even more puzzled.

She wanted to ask, but Jian Yixin clearly didn't want to answer this question.

She looked around and changed the subject: "Not bad, I've coveted this place for a long time, and now it finally belongs to me."

"Shi Youxuan, I'm telling you in advance: if I meet an untimely end here, I'm setting up my funeral hall right here."

Shi Youxuan:...

"What, you don't agree?" Jian Yixin put her hands on her hips, putting on a stubborn and unreasonable look: "Shi Youxuan, you wouldn't be stingy, would you? No way, no way, I'm not asking for your house, is it really not okay to just borrow it as a funeral hall? Think about it, if you're bored in the future, you can come here and chat with my ghost, how nice is that? This is a guaranteed profit with no loss..."

She used a very relaxed tone to talk about something that was clearly very sad.

Shi Youxuan finally couldn't take it anymore: "Shut your mouth."

"What untimely end, what funeral hall and ghosts, I don't want to hear any of it. Why are you saying these things for no reason? Jian Yixin, why are you living so gloomily?"

Jian Yixin: "Xuanxuan, you're a smart person. I won't lie to your face. That person is ruthless and vicious; if I'm targeted by him, I definitely won't have a good ending. His move against Ze Rong this time is just an appetizer; things won't end so simply."

Shi Youxuan: "Don't just boost others' morale and dampen your own spirit. Just because he successfully schemed against Ze Rong, you don't have to act like you're going to die, right? You are not allowed to die. Jian Yixin, we have to bicker for a lifetime; if you die early, who am I going to bicker with? I also don't want to chat with your ghost; I only want to chat with the living."

Jian Yixin started to laugh, and while shedding tears, she said: "Of course I want to, you think you don't? The coolest thing I, Jian Yixin, have done from childhood to adulthood is turning a love rival into my best friend. So proud."

"I'm very happy now. I have a husband who loves me, parents, an older brother and a younger brother, and you, a best friend I can tell anything to. But... I don't know how much longer this kind of life can continue?"

"One day, two days, or a week?"

Sheng Zerong rolled in the sheets with a beauty yesterday; this matter must have been a frame-up by someone.

She actually didn't blame her husband. Getting angry in the office and leaving the Divorce Agreement at home was to protect Sheng Zerong.

His personality was soft and lacked any aggression.

If Jian Yixin cut ties with him, Sheng Yukai wouldn't target him anymore, but would come for her instead!

If Sheng Yukai wanted to target her, he would definitely want her dead.

She couldn't implicate anyone.

Jian Yixin wiped away her tears and then said resolutely to Shi Youxuan: "Alright, you can go now. Don't come here in the future, but you must agree to what I said just now, so I can leave in peace."

"Peace my foot!"

Shi Youxuan didn't want to listen to her nonsense.

This woman had lived a comfortable life for too long; at the slightest sign of trouble, she thought it was the end of her life.

Shi Youxuan told her: "You were right to move out of the house, and you were right to send your parents away, but it's wrong to not let Ze Rong get involved!"

"You are husband and wife. A couple should share both blessings and hardships. He is a man; shouldn't a man take on the majority of the responsibility and risk? What is this now? You're bearing everything yourself?"

"You think you're protecting him, but he thinks you despise him. Jian Yixin, do you want to walk the path I took back then all over again?"

Shi Youxuan didn't hesitate to reveal her own old scars to show her, just to wake Jian Yixin up, to make her realize that she wasn't omnipotent. When there's a problem, a couple should solve it together, and Sheng Zerong wasn't so fragile that he needed his wife to protect him!

And there was her; as her friend, Shi Youxuan wouldn't watch her face danger alone.

In the end, Shi Youxuan was kicked out of the house by Jian Yixin.

Jian Yixin gave her an ultimatum—if you tell Ze Rong I'm here, I'll move out immediately!

This woman was easy to talk to most of the time, but if she decided on something, no one's persuasion would work—her mind was incredibly made up!

Sheng Zerong was searching for his wife like a madman.

When he called to ask Shi Youxuan, she felt a bit guilty, but still hardened her heart: "I don't know where she is. I think you should stop looking; she probably just hid away to clear her head, and she'll naturally come back once her anger subsides."

Sheng Zerong had never spoken harshly to Shi Youxuan, but this time he broke precedent and retorted: "Sister-in-law, are you just standing there talking without feeling the pain?" After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Shi Youxuan felt slighted and a bit aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do.

Who told her to make a promise to Jian Yixin.

Sheng Hanyu stared at her: "You know where she is!" It wasn't a question; it was a statement.

"I don't know." She denied.

Sheng Hanyu: "Fine, then I'll tell Ze Rong, and just say Yixin is at your Apartment." After he finished speaking, he went to grab his phone, but Shi Youxuan snatched it away.

She widened her eyes: "You dare?"

Sheng Hanyu leaned in and suddenly pecked her huffily pursed lips: "I do dare, unless you tell me the truth, give me a reason, and then I'll consider whether or not to say it."

"You're threatening me?" She widened her eyes even further and raised her palm—ready at any moment to be "ambushed" again and launch a ruthless counterattack.

But Sheng Hanyu changed his tactics, his face turning serious: "You are hiding something from me; you and Jian Yixin have a secret, and you actually won't even tell me."
