Chapter 454: I want a divorce!

Ye Chen's words made his father-in-law wake up instantly.

He realized at this moment that avoidance was not the way to solve the problem; only by facing the problem head-on and thoroughly resolving it was the best way to solve it.

If he wanted to fly together with Han Meiqing, he had to divorce Ma Lan.

Only after divorcing could he uprightly and openly bring Han Meiqing into his home.

Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot, and he said to Ye Chen, "Alright, I know. You go find your friends for help, and I will find someone to inquire about the divorce. As soon as your mom comes back, I will bring up the divorce with her."

After saying goodbye to his father-in-law, Ye Chen took a taxi to the Buckingham Hotel.

Chen Zekai was already waiting for him there.

The hotel manager respectfully invited Ye Chen to Chen Zekai's office.

Once the office door was closed, Chen Zekai immediately said respectfully, "Young Master, I am truly sorry, it was hard for you to condescend to come to my place. I should have been the one to see you."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's easier for me to come see you; it wouldn't be easy to explain if you came to see me."

As he spoke, he asked, "How is my mother-in-law, who stole over 20 billion from me, doing in the detention center now?"

"Quite miserable," Chen Zekai said. "She has become the public enemy of the entire cell inside. I heard that she hasn't eaten a single bite of food since she went in."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and said expressionlessly, "All of this is her own doing, and she can't blame anyone else."

Chen Zekai said earnestly from the side, "Young Master, I really didn't expect that such a woman, when seeing a deposit of over 20 billion, wouldn't have even a little bit of fear or worry, and didn't even think carefully about how there could be so much money in that card, and actually dared to transfer all the money to her own card. This person's guts are simply too big!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "This mother-in-law of mine loves money the most in her life. She interfered as a third party in my father-in-law and his first love's relationship back then because my father-in-law's family was relatively wealthy at the time, and he could be considered a standard rich second generation. What she didn't expect was that after they got married, the conditions of my father-in-law's family began to get worse and worse, and soon there was no money left. This person has been chasing money all her life, but she never got the money, so she has been suppressed in her heart and has become twisted."

Chen Zekai said, "Young Master, actually, I boldly suggest that it is best to let your mother-in-law suffer a bit more of a lesson inside, at least lock her up for three or five years, or at the very least for a year or a half. She has only been locked up for less than two days, are you going to let her out now?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Letting her out is mainly because I feel pained for my wife. But if she is still not honest after she comes out, I have other ways to slowly cure her."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Right, tomorrow morning, you arrange for the police station to interrogate her. Just like I told you last time, find all the actors that need to be found, prepare all the props, and put on a big show for her at that time."

Chen Zekai blurted out immediately, "Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely prepare everything."

Ye Chen said lightly, "I came to find you mainly to go over the process with you again. Make sure there are no mistakes at that time."

Chen Zekai nodded and said, "Young Master, then let's start sorting it out!"

After Ye Chen sorted out all the processes for tomorrow with Chen Zekai, he then took a taxi home unhurriedly.

But at this very moment, in the Jin Ling Detention Center, Ma Lan's nightmare was still continuing.

Because she had been tortured and beaten in various ways since she first entered the detention center, and had been poured a basin of cold water by Old Mrs. Xiao, plus she hadn't eaten a bite of food for two days and one night, Ma Lan had completely collapsed. She not only had a severe cold but also developed a high fever.

The high fever made Ma Lan's whole body burning hot, almost to the point of fainting, but at this time, she was still not allowed to lie on the bed and could only curl up in the corner of the detention center cell, shivering.

Because of the fever, she felt an extreme cold, making her body shake uncontrollably.

She felt she couldn't hold on anymore, so she murmured and begged, "Please, please have pity on me, give me a quilt, I'm so cold, I'm really so cold..."

Old Mrs. Xiao sneered, "What are you shouting for? A person like you still wants to cover yourself with a quilt? I tell you, you still have to sleep in the toilet tonight!"

Xiao Weiwei echoed from the side, "Grandma, I think she still needs to take a cold shower! How about the two of us go to the toilet and help her later?"

Hearing this, Ma Lan cried with snot and tears, begging miserably, "Mom, I really can't take it anymore. If you still make me sleep in the toilet and give me a cold shower tonight, I will definitely die here tonight. I beg you to have some mercy!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said viciously, "You still hope I can pity you? I tell you, I wish you would die sooner! You had better not wait until night to die, you had better die right now!"

Ma Lan wailed, "Mom, there is only that little bit of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict between us, and I have suffered your anger for a full twenty years. Why do you want to put me to death now? Even if you are angry about me not letting you live in the villa, there is no need to torture me to death, right?"

After finishing, she looked at the big sister of the cell, Zhang Guifen, and begged with tears and snot, "Sister Guifen, I know you hate unfilial daughters-in-law, but I didn't let her live in my villa, which was nothing more than drawing a line with my mother-in-law!"

"I have been married to the Xiao family for over twenty years, and I have never hit her, nor have I ever truly scolded her. I have even been bullied by her. It was only during this period that the Xiao family was not doing well that I ridiculed her and mocked her, but that was just a lack of respect in words, and that was all."

"But you have also seen how she has treated me these two days. She hits me, scolds me, and tries every possible way to torture me and bully me. This is simply wanting me to die!"

"As a reasonable person, can't you see who is the evil one between her and me?"

"If I were as evil as her, do you think she would still be alive now?"

"If I were as evil as her, how could she still be so healthy, and even be able to beat me up? This proves that I am not as evil as she says, and she is the true evil one!"

When she reached this point, Ma Lan was already in tears, and she was simply like Dou E who had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing her dare to accuse her, Old Mrs. Xiao walked up to her angrily and slapped her in the face.

Immediately after, the old lady grabbed her hair and slammed it against the wall, scolding, "You shameless thing, you actually dare to sow discord here, see if I don't beat you to death!"
